[on the constant rumors surrounding her split from Brad Pitt] There is always going to be the tough and the nasty. You just tune out to that.

[on the irony of the title of her movie, The Break-Up (2006)] Well, you know. I figured just seize the moment.

I always say, "Don't make plans, make options."

If we can say, "I loved, and I received a lot of love," then great. That's enough.

I've always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.
